SailScienceInnovation Kvaerner sails designed by SailMaker
SailMaker by SailScience LtdSailMaker provides the tools you need to produce top quality sail designs in less time.The SailMaker range of programs covers everything from simple headsail and mainsaildesign to sophisticated mould shapes and panel layouts for any type of sail.■ The practical approach ensuresthat the user makes savings indesign and production time andmaterials.■ All of this is achieved with the useof an accurate, surface based,three dimensional model andexceptionally easy to usegraphical tools.■ Interfacing to most plottersand cutters and also stressanalysis, VPP and CADprograms, ensures maximumcompatibility.■ Simple scaling and advancedfairing techniques are availableto help you make faster sails.Combining ease of use with the speed of the Macintosh and Windows basedcomputers, SailMaker has brought within reach of every sail loft, the opportunityto benefit from computer aided design and manufacturing techniques withoutthe need for a large capital investment.Finally, and most importantly, the programming team at SailScience Ltd have,since 1983, worked very closely with existing customers to ensure the softwaremeets their requirements in the most practical and productive fashion.This intimate liaison has resulted firstly in the most useful and well proven saildesign and production software available with over 150 satisfied users worldwide.Secondly it demonstrates the continued interest, development and supportavailable from SailScience.SailMaker Features■ Realistic sample designs,practical help and 150 activeusers worldwide.■ Constant updating anddevelopment with usernewsletter.■ Integrated 3D sail design,fairing, paneling andprinting/plotting of offsets.■ Gaff sails included at noextra cost.■ Incorporating twist and viewingfrom any angle.■ Chord, contour, net, surface,rendered and panel lines forviewing.■ Unrestricted number of shapingchords, elliptical or aerofoil.■ Simple or sophisticated mouldshapes and paneling.■ Input and alteration of shaping bymouse or keyboard, in absoluteor % values.■ Automatic metric, imperial andpercentage conversions.■ Boat and rig setup withspreaders, tack height andspinnaker pole.■ Girth, area and corner anglecalculation.■ Short or full length battens.■ Extensive sail markings of reefs,cunninghams, telltales, draftstripes and windows.■ Backstay feature for high roachmainsails.■ Seam editing of panels.■ Labour and material savingfeatures, auto nesting, fabricwastage, frame rulers.■ Optimised plotter movementroutines.■ Extensive compatibility withCADCAM industry standards.
3D Sail DesignSailMaker takesadvantage of theMacintosh's superioruser environment,allowing a saildesigner to becomean efficient user in amatter of hours,without requiring anykeyboard skills.Unlike the confusing 'numbersbased' systems, SailMakerconsistently presents you with yourchoice of clear, accurate graphicaldisplays to design your sail shapesby use of the mouse. Virtuallyunlimited numbers of shaping chordsand precise digital information isalways shown, giving you completedesign control. Chords may beelliptical in shape and mostimportantly they incorporate 'twist'.Existing successful designs may berescaled by simply altering the luff,leech and foot or LP dimensions.Then alterations made to edgeshaping, battens and productioncard. Full details may be printed atany time.Positions of battens, windows andeven detailing like telltales andcamber stripes may be determined.SailMaker is supplied with severalwell proven sample saildesigns and full supportfrom SailScience. Onceyou have achieved the desiredmould shape the next phase is paneldevelopment. Within SailMaker thereare many different standardconfigurations of panel layoutavailable. You choose material, seamand panel widths as appropriatethen SailMaker accurately and swiftlydevelops the individually shaped2D panels.

Productionproved race and cruise designs.■ Fully complete designs in allrespects, ready to make sails.Ideal for giving a new loft a qualityadvantage.■ No extra cost, SailMaker LE isincluded free with SailMaker. Payfor designs only as you use them.■ The Mould Library continues todevelop and expand underSailScience. New moulds will beissued at regular intervals.
PatternMakerPatternMaker allows the development of completely unlimited panellayouts. PatternMaker replaces the standard panel development forSailMaker, Asymmetric and Symmetric.■ Unlimited panel layouts throughthe use of unrestrictedregional seams and unrestrictedpatterns within the regions.■ Flexible approach to switchingbetween regions andredeveloping regional seamsand patterns.■ Zoom and drag functions.■ 3D graphical previews.■ Faster panel development■ Allows you to reducefabric waste.Fujicolor leading the Route du Rhum 1995PatchMakerPatchMaker provides corner patching for SailMaker,Asymmetric and Symmetric programs.■ Simple to use, mouse dragcontrol points to create patchshapes.■ Easy scaling and reusingpatch files for other sails.■ Block, fan and radial patchesplus an unconstrained generaloption.■ Saves time on the loft floor.■ Dramatically reducesfabric wastage.
PlotMakerPlotMaker provides the most advanced and effective panel nesting tools available to the <strong>Sailmaker</strong>, toreduce fabric costs and save time. PlotMaker's extensive range of plotter/cutter drivers and CADimport/export features ensures excellent compatibility with other hardware and software.PackMaker - Panel Nestingfor Hand Plotting■ Visual arrangement of panelson fabric, with rulers andcalculation of fabric length andwastage.■ Arrangement of panels bydragging, flipping and rotating.■ Easily move and add panelsbetween files, using Drag &Drop.■ Splitting of panels to any width.■ Checks for panel overlaps.■ Sail picture for each file.■ Printing of panel offsets andpositions for manual plotting.Powerful Nesting Tools■ Accurately set panel spacing.■ Arrow Key Panel Compactioninstantly and accuratelycompacts.■ Drag & Drop Nesting with acontinuously updating preview.■ Automatic Nesting sorts andorganises panels to reducenesting time. One click and thewhole queue is nested, radialsmatched together and sortedinto rows.PlotMaker - Panel Nesting& Plotter/Cutter ControlPlotMaker incorporates the nestingfeatures of PackMaker with theadditional functions of plotter control.Drivers are available and are useddaily for most brands of plot/cuttersincluding:Aeronaut (Xplot & Maxis), Armstrong& White (Genesis, Taurus and Laser),Axon, Blackman & White Orion,Carlson, Cutting Edge, DesignCorrelations, Houston, HPGL, Isel,MCS, ProSail. Custom drivers canalso be provided on request.PlotMaker CAD■ Importing of pictures,including fonts, for plottingfrom CAD anddrawing programsthrough the PICTformat.■ Exporting of panelsas PICT files formodifications andadditions in otherprograms.■ Importing of PanellistText and Binary files.MiniPlotDeveloped by Aeronaut Automation,MiniPlot is recommended bySailScience as an excellentcompanion program to PlotMaker.MiniPlot translates DXF, SMSWPlotter Pilot ntv, MiniCad Text, andProSail igl (HPGL) formats into andout of PlotMaker.RELAXSailMaker’s RELAX Interface allows designers toexport their designs into the RELAX finite elementstress analysis and aerodynamic package.Finite element analysis enables the sail designer to accuratelyinvestigate what his designed shape will be like in a variety ofwind strengths. By linking to RELAX, SailMaker users can optimisesail shapes and ensure correct fabric selection and orientation.RELAX can eliminate expensive mistakes and reduce the timeconsuming tweaking of existing sails.
